VINTAGE Rodenstock Apo-RODAGON 360MM 1:6,8 f=360 mm Enlarging Lens, No. 6316851. Rodenstock lenses have a worldwide reputation for enlarging images, perfectly resulting in very high image contrast and resolution.
This particular lens is in VERY nice vintage condition with common signs of age and respectful use. The glass looks very nice, we have found no remarkable scratches, cleaning marks or fungus, but it is in need of a good professional cleaning.
Some common internal dust, it comes with TWO lens caps and a carosel. Lens is in used condition and has not been tested recently.
The foundation for Rodenstock's development was laid in 1877 by Josef Rodenstock with his workshop and shop for lenses, frames, barometers, and measurement instruments in Würzburg. In 1880, he developed his first patented products – diaphragm lenses. Two years later, he started exporting internationally and founded his own production sites. Since 1883 the company’s headquarters is located in Munich.
In the new millennium, the ophthalmic optics company quickly developed from a small tradesman shop into a modern industrial enterprise. For example, the first bifocal lenses came from Rodenstock as did UV-absorbing lenses.
In addition to the production of lenses, the third generation put special focus on the manufacture of frames. In 1955, Rodenstock sold more than one million of them. Other innovations followed like, for example, self-tinting (phototropic) lenses and the first progressive lenses developed by the company, the Progressiv R, which was an immediate success in the 1980s.
In the 1990s, the unique selling point as a manufacturer of lenses and frames from a single source was consistently developed. Through continuous innovations, Rodenstock further expanded its market share during that time. In 2000, the company landed a real coup in the field of individual progressive lenses with the product ImpressionILT. Rodenstock invented the modern progressive lens.
Condition:
It is in VERY nice vintage condition with common signs of age and respectful use.
